Information for Your Stay
Welcome Letter 2021
​Welcome back for our fourth season!  Thank you for choosing to stay with us.  ​We welcome feedback as to what we can do to make your stay more enjoyable.  We have modified numerous aspects of the property as a direct result of guest feedback and will continue to do so.
Highland Lake Resort Essentials
Office hours: 9AM-8PM and CLOSED 1PM-2PM (for lunch). If you find anything in your room unsatisfactory please let the front desk know immediately to remedy the situation. Lastly, if you want to use paddles for boats before 9AM let the front desk know before 8pm the day before and we will leave them out for you.   
Policies
Our 2021 policies can be viewed in their entirety on the link above and on our policy page.  Check in is 3pm and check out is 10am (after vacating at 10am, guests may use amenities until noon).  We do not allow pets (sorry), and smoking & vaping is allowed in one designated area only.  We ask guests to be quite and keep music & voices low after 9pm and before 8am.  
Housekeeping
By 9AM please write the number of towels, coffees, etc. and hang these forms on the exterior doorknob facing the water (deck side).   Place dirty linens and trash outside your door.  Housekeepers will remove and leave fresh supplies outside your room. Our cleaners will only enter your rooms if you request and only if you are not in the room at the time.  If you need something after housekeepers have left please call the front desk.
Sparkling Clean
Body wash, shampoo and hand soaps are provided in the rooms. They are selected for gentle scents and a clean refreshing feel.  We are thrilled to have made this transition considering the thousands of plastic containers that will no longer be needed. 
Books 
​Yes we love books!  The genre is mostly spiritual (all faiths), personal stories of transformation, and a smattering of other novels.
We know kindle is the future... but nothing beats a paper book in a comfy chair by a Maine lake. If any book interests you please take it home and pass it on to someone else when you are through.  We will replenish our stash annually.   
Free On Demand Movies & Cable TV
You can choose from numerous channels as well as watch hundreds of ON DEMAND movies for FREE.  You can pause and fast forward films with your ONE remote. The apartment unit is different - that space has Netflix movies and local channels available but no cable stations. ​
Heat & Air Conditioning
We have wall or window mount a/c units in all rooms and heat regulation is controlled by a monitor on the walls.  The a/c units have a temperature gauge and fan speed regulator.  For those that don't want a/c but sleep better with white noise, you can set the fan on with no cooling feature.  Please don't leave a/c on with windows open. Thank you!
Keurig Coffee Makers
For those needing more information regarding the use of our Keurig Coffee Makers, you will find that in the above link. ​ We supply a decaf, two regular and one variety pod.  We also offer black tea bags. 
Sanitizers
We installed over 20 hand sanitizer dispensers throughout the property. There are also a half dozen buckets with commercial grade cleaners and rags which we replenish every morning for cleaning amenities before and after use.     
Forgot Something?
Please call our front desk receptionist if you forgot something. We have additional toiletries, umbrellas, fans, and an assortment of items others guests have requested. 
Nectar of Maine
In spring of 2021 Nectar began leasing our cafe space.  Our guests receive a 5% discount on purchases. Owner Rose Heggemen is committed to plant based food and wellness.  Offering delicious smoothies, baked goods, CBD products and art from local artisans. FMI: NECTAR OF MAINE
Dirty Ice Isn't Cool
We provide ice for cooling but not for consumption. Please use the hand sanitizer before getting ice. There are 2 grocery stores and 2 gas stations all within a mile from Highland that sell bagged ice: Shell Gas, Hannafords, Food City & Irving
Covid-19
There are no travel restrictions in Maine at this time (June 2021). We continue to enhance our safety and sanitizing protocols. We installed 20+ hand sanitizer dispensers, offer complimentary face masks, added 4 new picnic tables & 2 more charcoal grills for in house meals.​
Laundry
Guests are welcome to use the coin laundry in the game room. The washer is $1.50 the dryer is free. If other guests are utilizing the room please leave your laundry and return when you believe it will be done rather than waiting with it.  Thank you for your consideration.

Bring your Own Boat
We have a boat launch and docks but you must call and reserve your spot. Please bring your own fenders (bumpers).  Trailers can be left in a lot adjacent to the boat launch.  Boats must be inspected for milfoil and invasive species.  Those needing to charge boat batteries overnight may do so for $20 a day. ​The State of ME asks boaters to purchase and display a $35 "Preserve Maine Waters" sticker from a Town Hall in ME, online or at Uncle Lunkers in Bridgton. 
Swimming 
​Just remember children 12 and under must  have adult supervision on the property, especially near the water. There is NO LIFEGUARD on duty.  Contact the office for complimentary flotation devices and beach towels (please don't use bath towels) .  Just return the beach towels to the office after you check out. 
Boating
We have 2 canoes, 5 kayaks, 2 paddle boards, 1 row boat, 1 pedal boat. Simply call the office to sign up for 90 min. and we will leave sanitized paddles and life jackets out by the front office.  Guests can use multiple boats in a day and extend use if others aren't waiting. PLEASE return paddles and jackets to the front desk after use. ​​
Fishing
We have fishing poles for guests.  Cast off from our shores or take one of our complimentary boats to check your luck around five mile long Highland Lake. 1/4 mile away Unc'l Lunkers sells bait.  For info on purchasing a license (daily, weekly and more) visit the Maine.gov website
​​Obstacle Course
A work in progress! We are currently building a fenced in obstacle course area and have 5 obstacles for 2021.  PLEASE Children 12 and under must have adult supervision at all times on the property. We will add obstacles each year until it is teaming with art and activities.
Biking
Please contact the front desk to sign out a complimentary bike.  Sanitize before and after and leave by garage when through (so we can sanitize also).  Grab a bike, helmet, bike lock and head downtown to check out shops or go for a hike.  
Labyrinth 
For over 4,000 years old these have been used as a walking meditation.  There are no rules on how to use.  One suggestion is before entering to consider a contemplative question, prayer, or favorite image to hold in your mind and just follow the path. Upon reaching the center you may pause a few moments before unwinding your way back out.
Fire Pit Areas
We understand guests have met at Highland campfires and forged friendships that have lasted over a decade.  Those days are on hold. We added 3 additional pits for 2021 bringing the total to 7 fire pits on site. We sell fire wood & starter bundles for $5 bundle at front desk.  Firewood from Maine is allowed but no out of State wood is permitted. 
Lawn Games
We offer corn hole, bocce ball, croquet, swings, badminton, frisbees and more.  If you have any requests for lawn games please let us know and we'll do our best to accommodate your needs.  We rotate games on the lawn so we may even have what you desire in our garage. 
Picnic Areas &
Charcoal Grills
Due to covid and the growing demand for more on site meals we added two additional charcoal grills in 2021 for a total of four charcoal grills.  We have wire brushes and barrels near each grill.  
YOGA with ROSE
Yoga with Rose and other offerings now available in our event room. You can find a list of monthly classes outside our office or by visiting the website: The Nest  
Docks & Swim Raft

​ ALL AGES are invited to participate! 
Rest, Relax, Restore
Yes, there are lots of cool things to do on site, and even more in the area but make sure to take time to relax and just be.  Listen to the birds.  Feel the sunshine or rain drops on your face.  Everything we do on the property pales in comparison to natural glory of Mother Nature.  Drink her in!  Let her work her healing magic on your mind, body & heart. ​
